^title.

Plus: is it possible to only have update run if the version is out of date?

since you can call just status <composer> to display the scores matching that composer/artist, should you be able to call just compile <composer> and have all the matching scores compiled?

Should the piano template use a separate file for upper and lower staves, which seems to be helpful for big scores?

Should it remove the instrument name, which is often omitted in real scores? Or is it better to include with the idea that it's easier to delete something unneeded than to add it in if you can't remember how to do it...

• Use a cue.ily file (or backing.ily).
• Find a way to compile with or without cues without having to comment anything out
• Figure out musically what kind of notation makes sense
• If using extra staff, figure out how to put chords below the ossia staff

For some charts, it make sense to have a more detailed transcription of the complete melody with cue parts showing important aspects of the arrangement, but at the same time have a simpler form chart that just shows the sections with chords and number of bars.

This can be done using "\book" blocks in LilyPond.

• Is it possible to choose sorting options for just status? For example, sort by Artist (what it does now by default), sort by title, and sort by status?
• Should it also display which output files it uses? Like whether it includes a "-form" or "-video" pdf in addition to the main one?
• What should be done with just list? Is this still necessary? Should just status replace it?

• Make phrase markings stay above the harmonics (e.g., measure 5)
• Make phrase markings stay above tuplet (e.g., measure 9)
• Make accent stay close to grace note (e.g., measure 11)
• Should the ties always stay on the same side of the note? (e.g., measure 9)
• Should the glissando point down even when the notehead doesn't change? (e.g., measure 19)
• Fix tuplet position (measure 34)

Should the just create command create a new branch for each score? and just edit switches to it?

Should there be other just commands for working with git?

For reference/inspiration: ludicrous makefiles

Ideas:

• Put long commands (awk) into separate files that are included
• Multiline comments?

Read about Makefiles in LilyPond here and make appropriate updates for my workflow.

For example:
make create type=chart artist=beatles name=eleanor-rigby would create charts/beatles/eleanor-rigby directory and eleanor-rigby.ly, eleanor-rigby-melody.ily, and eleanor-rigyb-chords.ily inside of that. It would also include the version number and basic setup inside the lilypond files.

Should scores still be separated into "charts," "scores," "transcriptions," and "arrangements"? Maybe it's better to have things be flatter and more consistent. For example, all scores go in scores//<title>, where is either the composer or the band or the soloist for a transcription (the entity one is most likely to think of as the identifier for the score). A transcription of a solo over a standard goes under the soloist's name, but a chart for the tune goes under the composer's name, etc...

String and path commands from just might be more readable than zsh:

Prefer these when available?

Currently just list shows only pdfs. Maybe it should show all scores in the repo? It can show all titles in title case and whether there is a pdf or it's outdated.

just create chart will output two pdfs by default. Provide an option to choose 1) melody chart only, 2) chord chart only or 3) both

Instead of looping through the glob and calling watchexec, just choose the first file found in the glob and call watchexec on that, since it doesn't really make sense to do so in a loop.

Figure out the best way to compile a version in letter size and a version in youtube video size. Can this be done with \book? Should they be different output file names?

• Include lyrics in charts/lead
• add --lyrics option to just create command
